Human vulnerability • Human vulnerability – Less capabilities (education, health, standard of living, voice) – Restriction on choices and freedoms – Structural (societal barriers: prejudices, norms etc) – Accumulated through the life cycle • Poverty (deprivations) ≠ vulnerability (defenselessness and insecurity); but close • Also communities and countries can be vulnrable in HD terms

Shocks and disadvantage take many forms Capital Mobility and the Incidence of Banking Crisis (1800-2010)

Vulnerability has many faces Income and multidimensional poverty, world

Building human resilience • Human resilience – Bouncing back and moving on • Policies to build human resilience – Prevention, preparedness and protection – Principle of universal, flexible provision of basic social services, social protection and decent work – Special attention to voices and needs for vulnerable and excluded – Principle of non-discrimination, promoting social cohesion and inclusion • Renewed attention to Global Public Goods and International architecture of cooperation
